Will Buckland was the Director of the British Space Defence Centre in Devesham, and was Dorothy McShane's ex-boyfriend. He would have been the first British man on the moon if the ESA funding hadn't been cut.
Appearance
Dorothy described him as a comic book cliché of what an astronaut should look like. He was tall, blue-eyed, and had a floppy fringe of dark hair. He had toned muscles, and wore expensive cologne. (PROSE: At Childhood's End)
Personality
Will was friendly and liked to make jokes, but was always serious when he needed to be. When he saw Dorothy for the first time in three months, he swept her up into a bear hug. He was surprised and wary of the Squidget when Dorothy showed it to him, but was mostly curious. (PROSE: At Childhood's End)
History
He and Dorothy met at a fundraising event in the City of London, and according to her they 'hit it off immediately'. They dated for almost a year before Dorothy ended it, but he still called her 'Dot' afterwards. Whilst they were dating, he gave her a tour of the Space Defence Centre, where he worked. They stayed at the Fleur-de-Lys in Devesham, and Dorothy remembered it as ''a good couple of nights''.
When the Transit Station showed up on the Centre's scanners without warning, he prepared to send a probe to investigate. When Dororthy called him from her Hypergreen, he picked up after two rings and joked about restarting their relationship. He reluctantly agreed to her being on the probe when it launched, and gave in to her when she requested that it would be just the two of them, on the basis that she could get them to the moon faster than any other mission. (PROSE: At Childhood's End)
